A giant sea cave gate carved out by the rough waves of the Sea of Japan over many years. It was named so because of the beauty of the light shining through the gaps in the cave gate when the sun rises. If you approach by canoe or sightseeing boat, you will be overwhelmed by the contrast between the geometric rock formations created by nature and the clear emerald green sea. It is a spot symbolizing the strength of the San'in Kaigan Geopark, where you can witness the history of the Earth's activities. It is ideal for active travelers who want to experience the dynamic art drawn by nature up close.
